Please post the exact sentence or phrase that you feel is 'very. . .

. . . negative". The season is nearly 1/3 complete and Emma has pitched 1.1 innings. That's factual. No knock on her, just a circumstance of the roster. It's the number of pitchers on the rosters that is the topic of this thread. I understand there are some here that are only VT softball fans. That's not me. I'm into the game and have been for 3+ decades. I'm a Hokie but have relationships and allegiances in the game that extend far beyond VT. If anything other than 'atta girl' posts are not welcome here then it's going to be different than any other sport-specific board on Techsideline and, frankly, not very interesting. ** Edited by MidloHokie at 6/21/2026, 10:47:47 AM ** Edited by MidloHokie at 6/21/2026, 11:04:04 AM ** Edited by MidloHokie at 6/21/2026, 11:05:30 AM ** Edited by MidloHokie at 6/21/2026, 11:06:41 AM

You could be right. The Blaze has 6 P's (if you include Cagle) on the . .

Valerie Cagle is no longer a pitcher

Does every team have "too many" players OR
VAHokie89 06/21/26 02:03 PM ET
Tough to say. I think they've done good job with TV. That, of course,
MidloHokie 06/21/26 03:56 PM ET
An AUSL active roster is 16 players

As with any professional league

With WNBA, most of the increase in viewership is due to Clark.**
Atlee Hokie 06/21/26 01:42 PM ET
IMHO, the increase was happening prior to Clark. I guess we can look at it
VAHokie89 06/21/26 02:00 PM ET
Well, Liz was our Clark. She was a generational player. IMO reinforces . .

Nope; just stating what appears to be going on. **
MidloHokie 06/21/26 06:40 AM ET
Very negative for a Hokie board. Somethings should be kept to yourself.
laphroaig 06/21/26 08:21 AM ET
Don't get the critique here. Just stated what's happening.

Knew you would justify it. Took you 5 times to justify it, too.**
